TL;DR: The solution to the waste of resources inherent in non-compliance lies not in attempting to increase patient compliance per se, but in the development of more open, co-operative doctor-patient relationships.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study using blood DNA samples from 1,854 individuals with clinically detected prostate cancer diagnosed at ≤60 years or with a family history of disease, and 1,894 population-screened controls with a low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration (<0.5 ng/ml) identified seven loci associated with prostate cancer on chromosomes 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 19 and X.

TL;DR: A questionnaire that is sensitive to changes in the symptomatology of the female lower urinary tract, particularly urinary incontinence, providing an instrument that can characterize symptom severity, impact on quality of life and evaluation outcome is developed.
